While the natives *knew* the buffalo intimately, and depended on it for their life, the white hunters with their rifles knew far better how to kill the animals.
A shaman lives part of his life in the spirit plane. He would not dare to disturb it, for fear of the consequences. A sorceror doesn't care: spirits are raw materials. The spirit plane is a dangerous area where no sane person would dwell voluntarily.
I could imagine the occasional expedition of a group of sorcerors into the spirit plane: This would be a rare and impressive undertaking.
